Geeze jw that is also how they steal your internet also .There is a person who stands outside the vehicle with a cell phone of sorts and then the person inside the vehicle is locked into the person out side .They did it to me a downloaded a whole bunch of porn child and adult by using my internet and my phone company called me and century link handled it from then on .I had to give them permission to enter my puter .They sent one of there trucks here to access everything on our wireless wifi .After that we went to wired wifi and it is secured really well now ,at least i hope it is .I sure don't want to get arrested for child porn .

They took the guys laptop so they got lots of stuff on there. They took weird stuff too. Took an attachment to the sewing machine but not the expensive portable sewing machine.Didn't touch all the guys expensive tools but took a ceramic heater. Took all the jewelry tho. Didn't take and expensive camera right next to the computer either. The guy had to spend the day dealing w/all his bank accts etc. All of us neighbors think it might have been someone he knew like a family member who wanted money but the guy wouldn't give them anymore cuz they would never pay him back. They are his wives grandkids not his but he was kind enough to loan them money but only if they promised to pay him back. Well they did at first and then they stopped and asked him for more. Nope he said. Poor guy, he's in his 80's and lives w/his wife who has Alzheimer's and their big German shepherd. I hear some of his wife's grand kids are kinda sketchy.

so sad when they have to take advantage of seniors .I took care of hubbies dad when he was near the end for 2 months and it is never easy to deal with a sick spouse and then having family members like that is sad .I hope they called the police because if they pawn the stuff they will be caught .The police let all the pawn stores now what is stolen and if it shows up they have to let the police know or they could get in trouble and loose there license

37 today!! And above-average temperatures for the next week or so. Most of the snow from last week has melted, at least on the driveway/paved areas. It's also nice just to be able to open the windows a little bit and get some fresh air into the house.

Big windstorm here last night. Heard some rain too but the main thing was that awful wind. Took our power away for 2 hours but I was sleeping so who cares. Temps are warm too now at 50f.I am liking that a lot! What will I see when I walk today? Maybe trees down here and there. Have to be careful tho cuz one could be tipping my way out there.

Yep @sissy they called the cops. Bad thing up here is no police patrol at night so it takes them awhile to get up here.

Gosh sissy your temps sure are pretty mild all the time. What's the lowest you ever get there and how long does it last?

Mild day today here w/rain ending. Got dumped on during the night. I could hear it pounding down but no wind!

What a football game yesterday. I didn't watch cuz I'm not really a fan but happy for them and all the fans that they are going to the Superbowl

Beautiful day here again today. Up in the 50's, sunny, and little wind. How amazing is that for January weather. Saw 2 bald eagles not 5 miles from my house, feeding on something dead on top of ice on a local pond, assuming a goose, but not sure. One was adult, the other was immature, not fully white head and tail. Then, after got home from trip to see my son and his girlfriend, spotted a pair of foxes in the field behind my house. I think they are soooo beautiful!

They were watching something we could not see at first, but then spotted it. I was SURE it was a cougar! Long tail, and gait was cat-line (cougar) instead of dog-like (coyote). But, as you will see from the last pic and the pointed nose, it was a coyote. These are zoomed in pics, cropped and zoomed again, so apologies for the blurriness.
